On April 28th Rogue Legacy 2 will officially hit its 1-year launch anniversary, and to celebrate we are releasing one final major update, completely free!
The Swan Song Update is our way of saying 'thank you' to everyone in the community for all the love and support you have shown us not just this past year, but throughout Early Access.
The Swan Song Update Primer
The full patch notes will arrive with the content patch in just a couple days, but we thought we'd give you an early glimpse of what's to come.
Special Modes
One of the biggest additions we've ever added to Rogue Legacy 2 is coming with the introduction of Special Modes - 3 brand new ways to play the game.
Some of it will be familiar to fans of the original, with Thanatophobia mode testing your mettle by only allowing 15 lives. But of course, this is Rogue Legacy 2, and that means bringing things up a notch.
We're taking the game and twisting it, flipping it around, and tossing in a ton of new features never seen before. In True Rogue mode, you have one life to complete the game. Each run has been designed to be completed in under an hour, but for most people, expect runs to last only a few minutes :D.
This mode is meant for veterans who've completed everything RL2 has to offer. Even if you think you've seen it all, True Rogue holds surprises around every corner.
Say hello to Commander Estuaries. A brand new encounter, exclusive to True Rogue mode.
The Final Set of Fabled Weapons
During Early Access, we never intended to create a Fabled Weapon for every Class. They were difficult to make, and we knew that if we aimed for such a lofty goal from the start, we would have scrapped the feature before it ever took off. Thankfully we fooled ourselves, and the release of this final set of Fabled Weapons completes the collection for all 15 heroes.
And So Much More
We don't want to spoil everything. Heck, with the patch notes coming in at a whopping 4200 words, we couldn't even spoil it all if we tried! We are doing our best to make sure everything we could have wanted is in Rogue Legacy 2, and nothing is left on the table.
Thank you once again for all of your support, and we hope to see you on April 28, when the Swan Song Update launches.
Good night and see you soon :)
